About Ultimate Disney
In 2000, Editor-in-Chief of Marvel Enterprises, Inc. Joe Quesada green lit a project in which the series would retell the story of Spider-Man only with a 21st century spin. The series was called Ultimate Spider-Man and became an instant hit. The success panned over to Ultimate X-Men and soon anything under the Ultimate Marvel label was a hit. The idea behind the Ultimate Marvel stories were to update the characters and stories we have grown to love over the years they have since existed and reinvent them for a new generation of readers.
In 2003, I wrote a fan fiction story called Fantasia Crisis. Taking every Disney Animated Feature and basing the story on the classic DC comic book Crisis on Infinite Earths provided a story that many have come to enjoy and even love. They asked for me, more specifically sequel, and it was soon when I thought back to the Ultimate Marvel books.
The goal of Ultimate Disney is essentially doing what Ultimate Marvel did. Take the characters and stories we have grown to love over the years and reinvent them. The intention is not to completely change them from top to bottom, like Mike Millar has done on the Ultimate Marvel books he has written. But to create them in a way that would make them seem fresh and new while keeping alive what made them so special, like Brian Michael Bendis has done.
Enjoy this new venture into storytelling. And wish me luck.
